Project 365: Day 198

Attack of the Giant Spider!
Looks like everyone who's been to Roppongi Hills has their own picture of this spider. Here's mine :D

FYI:
Maman (1999) is a sculpture by the artist Louise Bourgeois. The sculpture, which resembles a spider, is over 30ft high, with a sac containing marble eggs. The title is French for Mommy. In addition to the stainless steel version owned by the Tate Modern, London,[1] there are several bronze casts, located at:
Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, Missouri
National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa
State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg
Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
Mori Art Museum, Roppongi, Tokyo
Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston
Samsung Museum of Modern Art (Leeum), Seoul
Jardin des Tuileries, Paris
Havana, Cuba[2]
Hirshhorn Museum Washington, D.C.
Pappajohn Sculpture Park Des Moines, Iowa
The bronze sculpture is no longer in London, Paris, Boston or Washington, D.C. as the deployment of the work in these locations had in each case been a temporary installation.
